Clippers (29-14) at Celtics (35-10) Game #46 1/27/24

I will also say that not having Porziņģis is making a big difference.

Definitely.

Offense very static right now. Just standing around on the perimeter while one guy tries to drive. No movement. Horford just stands in the corner. All the other guys are guards or want to play like guards.

Horford is 0 fer...

Clippers figure things out they are going to be a problem

Dwhite Holiday and Horford 2/20 FG
hopefully that just will naturally even out in the 2nd half

Until someone gets hurt. That's sadly been their issue for a while now.

If they can stay healthy they’ll probably win the West. Won’t happen though.

Live by the 3, die by the 3. This team really has no other dimension. 2 losses now against potential Western conference finalists. Have to pray that KP is fit during the playoffs.

Two poor performances at home against west contenders.

Another one coming in Monday

I agree I think with what you are saying. Porziņģis is an important part of the team, but they shouldn’t be this bad without him. I am going to reserve judgment though until I see how they respond in the second half.  This game is not out of reach yet.

To be fair, they are ALSO missing layups. You can miss layups, you can miss threes, but you can't miss both and expect to win.

That kid just  flopped

[Vermont Green]

23 three point attempts in the first half is a lot. But that isn’t the problem here.  They are shooting 29% overall. That is horrible. They aren’t making their threes and they aren’t making it when they go to the hoop either.  Credit the clippers for a good defense which they are playing but the defense isn’t that good.

[keevsnick]

Shooting 17% from three, 39% from two, and shooting only 5 ft's to your opponents 11 is a recipe for losing.

Polar opposite from the Heat game.

[ozgod]

15-51 (29%) overall
11-28 (38%) from 2
4-23 (17%)from 3

Good thing were only down by 16

So when Joe getting fired? Monday or Tuesday?

[celticinorlando]

Be nice if this team would go inside to keep them in games
